Chrome tap and brass cupboard handles. Big no no????

5 years ago

Hi, I’m planning on having a dark in frame kitchen with blue black units and white work top. I wanted brass kitchen cupboard handles and it looks like it’s much more difficult to find a brass boiling water tap. Would it look awful having a chrome boiling water tap with brass cupboard handles or should I just go for a regular tap? TIA xx

There are lots of different finishes on hot water taps- admittedly not the entry priced brands.
It will be unlikely you will get exactly the same brass finish but there is lots of choice so you can find a finish that sits more comfortably with the brass- I like pewter

In our new kitchen, traditional look, the cabinets will have brass handles. The sink is belfast type. I would love a brass/traditional colour tap, not chrome, but at the same time for functionality it to be a mixer pull out one. I can't find one! Any ideas? Thanks

Thanks for comments. Unfortunately since this is a project that has now past the 1 yr mark and we had to completely strip the house to its bear bones we had to purchase a second hand kitchen. It was previously a football managers so very expensive new. Made by hand. I got no choice with granite top- black it is! Initially I was wanting brass but all handles taps are chrome hence the pic of chrome manta light (it’s not shiny chrome) so now you have thrown me!! I am really indecisive and love too many things and never sure what works well. If I go for all brass fittings should I also go for brass coloured manta style light? I know both the blue ball light and green long light would go with brass fittings. At the moment the blue light has a black fitting, would I need to change that if went for silver metal or brass? Light switch covers was going for brushed nickel as I don’t like antique brass when I looked at switch covers- I’m getting click ones Lts- you mention mushroom colour and then fire earth apple??? I’m not sure which you are referring to as a close match to mussel colour

Gold or Chrome handles with a Cashmere Kitchen?
Q
Comments (24)
I think a dark browny bronze is a really good colour to go with cashmere. and could also work with gold, chrome is a bit too blue. If you keep the gold handles ( I think they look really nice) then I wouldn't duplicate it too much. I would add wooden bar stools. My sister's kitchen is the same colour, she has used lots of bronze, dark browny violets and wood.

thanks for the advice, I might have to expand my search a bit, still unsure I can justify the cost! xx
